9. They tried to ditch him in 2016

After his terrible performance in the referendum. Corbyn won handily thanks to an influx of new members of the Labour party. Those new members are very strongly supportive of Corbyn no matter what he does. In fact at times they look more like cult members, such is their personal loyalty to the beardy one.

As you can no doubt tell, I became very disillusioned with Corbyn during the referendum campaign. And with the Labour party, which was more preoccupied with Blairite and Corbynite factions trying stick one over on each other than getting things done.

With such a weak, incompetent government leading us towards economic suicide we need a strong credible opposition. That is something that Labour is presently unable to provide.
